Naval Architect Thad Michael highlights the importance of the Large Cavitation Channel testing at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division's Memphis Detachment in an Office of Naval Research project focused on cavitation erosion, July 25, 2024. Engineers from Carderock’s Naval Architecture and Engineering Department collaborate with researchers from the University of Memphis and the University of Michigan to test the High Reynolds Number Hydrofoil (HiFoil) to create a highly erosive cavitating flow that damages test “coupons” made of various metals and other materials. The LCC is one of the few places in the world a controlled cavitation erosion test at near full-scale conditions is possible, giving the Navy a clear edge in developing the next generation of surface ships and submarines. Data from this test helps produce world-class, cost-effective technical solutions, improving ship maintenance and fuel consumption for the U.S. Navy and the maritime community.
